I am in Tennessee
sorry again for highjacking the post

Thanks to all !!! Sure is nice to have folks to run things by and all of your input is really apprecciated.

My 'theory' is the Rotella SYNTHETIC was foaming. I love Rotella oil and ran it for 130K miles in my prior 7.3. Just think there was a problem with the anti foaming additives in the Rotella Synthetic. There was an immediate change when I went back to the Motorcraft oil. Please don't turn this into 'an oil war forum', just relating to MY 6.0 fiasco.

I use an AutoEngenuity program and my DESIRED Injector HPOP gets matched by the ACTUAL HPOP pressure so I rule out pump, leaks and regulator.

My AE Tool just datalogged that under high RPM (injectors firing fast) the main power from the FICM is dropping down to 46 Volts. Ford spec calls for 48 to 50 volts. FYI... my problem now is a stutter/stumble/ misfire with no codes anytime above 2500 RPM. aka FICM working harder/firing faster.

I am now looking for the best price on a NEW FICM to obatin, get flashed then send to Inovvative for the custom program.

I am still open to all the good ideas and info you folks send my way !!!!!

AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE GENTLEMAN WHO BEGAN THIS POST
